After the data signals are completely transmitted to the previous first and the previous second source driving ICs 500 , the retrieval of the data signals are initiated. That is the first data receiving/transmitting mode. Contrarily, in the second data receiving/transmitting mode, the first and the second source driving ICs 500 may complete the retrieval of the data signals at first, and the subsequently received data signals are then transmitted to a next first and a next second source driving ICs 500 .

- This application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan application serial no. 96124334, filed Jul. 4, 2007. All disclosure of the Taiwan application is incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel and a driving method thereof, and more particularly to a display panel having source driving integrated circuits (ICs) with different data receiving/transmitting modes and a driving method thereof.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- With great advance in techniques of manufacturing optoelectronics and semiconductor devices, flat panel displays have been vigorously developed. Among the flat panel displays, LCDs characterized by low operating voltage, free of harmful radiation, light weight and small and compact size gradually replace conventional CRT displays and have become mainstream display products. In addition, with the features of low power consumption, lightness and compactness, the LCDs are more extensively applied to portable personal electronic devices. Hence, fabricating a lighter, thinner, and more power-saving LCD is currently an essential issue which draws attention of display manufacturers.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a conventional LCD panel. Referring toFIG. 1 , aconventional LCD 100 includes adisplay panel 110, a plurality of source driving ICs SD0˜SDm, a plurality of gate driving ICs GD0˜GDn, and aprinted circuit board 120. Here, m and n are positive integers. A plurality of pixels (not shown) is disposed on thedisplay panel 110. The printedcircuit board 120 has acontrol circuit 121 and is disposed over thedisplay panel 110. Through a flexible printedcircuit 123, the printedcircuit board 120 is electrically connected to thedisplay panel 110. Data signals generated by thecontrol circuit 121 are transmitted to the source driving ICs SD0˜SDm via the flexible printedcircuit 123. In addition, the source driving ICs SD0˜SDm are coupled in series and usually transmit data in a one-way direction. Therefore, after the first source driving IC SDO completes a retrieval of the data signals, the remained data signals pass through the first source driving IC SD0 to the second source driving IC SD1. Thereafter, the second source driving IC SD1 retrieves the data signals, and a next source driving IC SD2 then retrieves the remained data signals after the second source driving IC SD1 has finished the retrieval of the data signals. According to said order, the data are written into the pixels by all the source driving ICs SD0˜SDm after the last source driving IC SDm completes the retrieval of the data signals. It is known fromFIG. 1 that the flexible printedcircuit 123 has to be disposed at a corner of thedisplay panel 110 in most cases, so as to connect the first source driving IC SD0. Therefore, designers are not able to further reduce a length of the printedcircuit board 120. - Moreover, based on actual demands, the printed
circuit board 120 may be disposed over or under thedisplay panel 110. All of the source driving ICs SD0˜SDm are in the same data receiving/transmitting mode (a mode which bypasses data after receiving an assigned data). Thus, given that the printedcircuit board 120 previously disposed over thedisplay panel 110 is alternatively positioned under thedisplay panel 110, images are then displayed by thedisplay panel 110 in left-and-right reverse manner. At this time, the designers have to additionally dispose a line buffer on the printedcircuit board 120 to temporarily store all of the data signals. After that, the stored data signals are outputted to the source driving ICs SD0˜SDm in a reverse order. In view of the above, theLCDs 100 with various designs are able to share the same printedcircuit board 120. Nevertheless, additional disposition of the line buffer on the printedcircuit board 120 not only results in an increase in the entire power consumption of theLCD 100, but also raises the manufacturing costs. - The present invention is directed to an LCD panel having source driving ICs with different data receiving/transmitting modes.
- The present invention is further directed to a driving method by which source driving ICs are able to drive an LCD panel via different data receiving/transmitting modes, so as to reduce power consumption.
- The present invention provides an LCD panel including a liquid crystal cell array, a plurality of gate driving ICs, a plurality of first source driving ICs, a plurality of second source driving ICs and a timing control circuit. The liquid crystal cell array has a first display area and a second display area.

After that, the leftest firstsource driving IC 421 starts retrieving and temporarily storing the data signals. - Referring to
FIG. 4C , as the firstsource driving IC 421 is about to complete the retrieval of the data signals (e.g. as the 478th data signal or the 479th data signal is retrieved), the firstsource driving IC 421 outputs a first control signal V1 to the firstsource driving IC 423, such that the firstsource driving IC 423 can start preparing the retrieval of the data signals. Thereafter, when the firstsource driving IC 423 starts retrieving the data signals, it stops outputting the timing control signal and the data signals to the firstsource driving IC 421. Specifically, the firstsource driving ICs source driving ICs - Please refer to
FIG. 4D . Before the data signals are about to be completely retrieved by and temporarily stored in the firstsource driving IC 423, the first control signal V1 is outputted to the firstsource driving IC 425, such that the firstsource driving IC 425 can start preparing the retrieval of the data signals.

In more detail, thefirst setting pin 541 determines a direction in which the data signals are transmitted and received. The data signals may be received by theleft data receiver 511 and transmitted by theright data transmitter 523, i.e. Left Receive, Right Send. Alternatively, the data signals may be received by theright data receiver 521 and transmitted by theleft data transmitter 513, i.e. Right Receive, Left Send. On the other hand, thesecond setting pin 543 determines an order in which the data signals are transmitted and received. The first and the secondsource driving ICs 500 may first transmit the received data signals to a previous first and a previous secondsource driving ICs 500. After the data signals are completely transmitted to the previous first and the previous secondsource driving ICs 500, the retrieval of the data signals are initiated. That is the first data receiving/transmitting mode. Contrarily, in the second data receiving/transmitting mode, the first and the secondsource driving ICs 500 may complete the retrieval of the data signals at first, and the subsequently received data signals are then transmitted to a next first and a next secondsource driving ICs 500. - Furthermore, the
register 530 is used to temporarily store the data signals before the retrieval of the data signals are completed by the first and the secondsource driving ICs 500. The left and theright data transmitters register 530, and so are the left and theright data receivers first setting pin 541, the data receiving/transmitting mode of the first and the secondsource driving ICs 500 is determined as Left Receive, Right Send or Right Receive, Left Send. - Although the present invention has been disclosed above by the embodiments, they are not intended to limit the present invention.
